The most complete extant print of this spectacular 1922 film is this two-thirds complete version presented by Enno Patalas. Lubitsch biographer Herman G. Weinberg calls The Wife of Pharaoh (released in the U.S. as The Loves of Pharaoh) the "crown" of Lubitsch's spectacles. "The ancient Egypt of the pharaohs was now evoked on the UFA lot, with its vast palace interiors, its pyramids and sphinxes, its temples, its desert wastes and oases, the pharaohs' ancestor, the mighty Nile, the superstition-and-priest-ridden 'kingdom of the dead.' To (Emil) Jannings, naturally, went the role of yet another king, the cruel yet pathetic Pharaoh, Amenes. Since (Pola) Negri was not available, the part of Theonis, the beautiful slave girl over whom the Pharaoh and the King of Ethiopia wage a bloody war, only for both of them to lose her to her true love, Ramphis, went to...another (Max) Reinhardt pupil, Dagny Servaes.... Despite its 'monumental' aspect as a spectacle, the film was illuminated with the keenest psychological direction" (in "The Lubitsch Touch").
